PPI workshops
To date, the Institute has held eleven patient, family and public involvement (PPI) workshops. The PPI workshops are typically a full day event, where attendees are invited to hear presentations on researcher, patient and family experiences, focused on a particular theme or topic within palliative care and rehabilitation. During these workshops patient, family and public attendees can get actively involved in shaping the research happening at the Cicely Saunders Institute.

'Conversation Starter' Events
We have developed a series of engagement events, to showcase our research, engage people in the area of palliative care, raise our profile, and attract new patient and public representatives. Our conversation starters, funded by King's College London and the Wellcome Trust Public Engagement grant scheme, aimed to start a public discussion around difficult topics in palliative care and rehabilitation.
